Store files in containers? Or Reference?

This was the best category I could find to post this... I've been storing documents related to my "Jobs" with each record having 3-10 documents. My file is roughly 1GB in size and growing fast. It's easy to drag and drop files into the fields from explorer, but I'm wondering if I should be storing them as a reference instead. Are there any drawbacks to storing all the documents in the database, other than the big file size?

The main problem with reference files is if the source is separated from the database. Moving and renaming the solution can be an issue too. On the other hand moving a large DB file can be an issue too.
